from IAIS: FEUD BRINGS UNREST TO DERRY Via NY Transfer News Collective * All the News that Doesn't Fit FEUD BRINGS UNREST TO DERRY 10/26/97 21:31 EST A SERIOUS outbreak of violence in Derry yesterday was an escalation of the increasingly bitter feud between loyalist paramilitary groups, the Ulster Freedom Fighters and Ulster Volunteer Force, it was claimed yesterday. The latest chaos came after one man was killed in a car bomb in Bangor, County Down on Saturday shortly before noon in a killing also being blamed on a loyalist feud. In Derry, 10 people were injured when up to 150 people became involved in a riot at Duke's nightclub shortly after 1am yesterday. Calm was restored when police intervened at the Waterside public house but trouble flared again at the Ebrington bar on Derry's Limavady Road. The Ulster Democratic Party in Derry, the political wing of the loyalist paramilitary Ulster Defense Association, moved quickly last night to play down the violence, claiming it was unrelated to the break up of the Combined Loyalist Military Command. Derry chairman of the party, David Nicholl said the violence was a result of anger in the general Protestant community and recent actions by the UVF in the city. But sources have claimed the riot was a direct result of a feud between the two paramilitary groups which has spread throughout Northern Ireland. __________________________________________________________ The Irish American Information Service is a non-profit orginization provding up-to-the-minute objective coverage of news as it happens in Ireland and the North.
